So, I'm a year or so out of a long term relationship that was heading towards marriage. I had gotten scared and walked out on it, after all, I was only 22 and we were both still in school.
So, after having something like that, with someone I wanted to spend my life with, I'm having a hard time meeting new people. A majority of my social life is heading out to bars with friends. I've met plenty of nice girls at bars that are fun for a little time, but not someone I would ever want to date/marry.
I'm still holding onto the "dream" of just bumping into a woman at the grocery store and dating, then getting married. Not that exact scenario, but you know what I'm saying, when you least expect it.
So at 23, I know I'm still young, but I feel after having this 3/4 year relationship I know what a great relationship feels like and I'm not looking for those 1 nighters anymore. Of the 5 friends I hang out with every weekend, only one other has been in a relationship like me, and he's treating it by going after everything and anything. Dude probably has the clap, but oh well, that's how he's dealing with his breakup.
Anyway, give me some stories. I know I need to be heading to the bookstore, cafes, concerts, etc. It's kind of hard to hang out with people my age, being out of school now. I've actually considered heading back, for this reason alone. I had to move back in with my parents in a town where the lowest price on a single family home is about 900K, needless to say, not many people my age around here, and if they are, they are living with parents and trying to find a way to move to another area, or at least out of their house.
Yes, I'm a few drinks deep. I apologize for using a Mac website for relationship advice...
